"Ortmmeyer was hired into this role in 2017 by Jeff Gorton, so believe it or not he was not a Chris Drury hire."
"In Ortmeyer's 9 years, the Rangers have come under fire for having significant player development problems and have been seemingly unable to develop any player that actually had skill."
"Those concerns were exaggerated, though only slightly, as there have been hits, but many, many more misses."

The Rangers have not yet appointed a replacement, with Tanner Glass and Marc Staal as potential internal candidates. There is a preference for an external hire to address significant organizational needs.
